like they were expecting and openly passed them his business card.“Nice to meet you guys. I’m a journalist from ABC News. I came here on a holiday, but I didn’t expect to bump into you two. May I have the honor of interviewing you guys? I can assure you it won’t take up too much of your time,” said the man.Winnie furrowed her brows as she mulled over the man’s words. “Thank you for your interest, but why are you interviewing us if you’re on a holiday?”It’d be more believable if he said he was conducting street interviews at the foot of Mount Albeise and coincidentally saw us.
